i think we have to pressure harry reid and let him know how important it is to start confirming some of these judges, as well as christie said, dawn johnsen and other executive positions at the justice department as well. when our senators come home, you know, they get a lot of questions about the health care and the environment and obviously, that is really important. we ought to make sure that any time any of us meet with a senator we talk about judges. they do not hear from us enough. and there ought to be at least one question any time they are home about the appointment -- the importance of appointing strong and progressive judges. and finally, we have all pointed out a lot of this is local. and what the right did very effectively is in communities are around the country recruited candidates for the federal bench and then helped to put together a little campaigns so that they would be selected by the senators in their states. we have got to do the same. it is a local issue. and we can identify some wonderful judges, but it means that we have got to coalesce around these candidat
